Conan the Barbarian TV Series In Works At Amazon From Ryan Condal, Miguel Sapochnik & Warren Littlefield
EXCLUSIVE: Amazon is developing drama series Conan, based on the books by Robert E. Howard, Deadline has learned.

Created and written by Condal, Conan retells the classic character’s story via a return to his literary origins. Driven out of his tribal homelands, Conan wanders the mysterious and treacherous world of civilization where he searches for purpose in a place that rejects him as a mindless savage.
Condal executive produces with Sapochnik, who will direct, and Littlefield. Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler will also executive produce via their Pathfinder Media banner with Endeavor Content as the studio.
The project falls into Amazon’s push into big, fantasy/genre drama series with broad appeal in the mold of Game of Thrones, which is exemplified by the company’s recent big bet on a Lord of the Rings TV series.
Condal admits to having a personal obsession with the material, which Sapochnik also has been a longtime fan of, leading to their collaboration on the project with the creative goal to return to the original Howard literary works and produce a series that is faithful to the spirit of his Conan character. Conan the Barbarian, aka Conan the Cimmerian, was created by Howard in 1932 in a series of fantasy stories published in Weird Tales magazine.
The character has been the subject of a number of screen adaptations, most famously played by Arnold Schwarzenegger on the big screen. There have been two animated TV series and a short-lived 1997 syndicated action-adventure series, Conan the Adventurer, toplined by Ralf Möller.
Condal is the co-creator, executive producer and showrunner of USA’s drama series Colony, currently in its third season. On the film side, he is currently adapting Logan’s Run for Warner Bros and previously wrote a movie about another muscled hero, Hercules, starring Dwayne Johnson.

Sapochnik won an Emmy and DGA Award for outstanding directing for the Game of Thrones episode “Battle of the Bastards.” Most recently, he directed the opening episode for Netflix’s Altered Carbon, and is set to direct Bios for Amblin Entertainment, starring Tom Hanks, with Robert Zemeckis and Kevin Misher producing.
Littlefield serves as an executive producer for FX’s Fargo and Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, both of which have earned him Emmys — outstanding limited series for Fargo and outstanding drama series for The Handmaid’s Tale.
Endeavor Content, which brought together WME Global and IMG’s entertainment sales groups in October, recently set up two series at Apple via its new scripted drama venture with Chernin Entertainment: Are You Sleeping, starring Octavia Spencer, which is in development, and See, written by Steven Knight, which has been greenlighted. Additional upcoming series include Damien Chazelle’s The Eddy for Netflix and Beau Willimon’s The First for Hulu.
Wheeler and Malmberg recently produced Syfy’s Blood Drive, and through their newly formed Pathfinder Media are set to finance and produce the series Dark Agnesand The Syndicate later this year.
Condal is repped by WME, Grandview and McKuin Frankel. Sapochnik is repped by WME, Casarotto and Sloane Offer. Littlefield is with WME and Tom Hoberman. Wheeler and Malmberg are repped by David Tenzer.
Pathfinder Media represents the Robert E. Howard Library.
